Note(s): This Table displays the average values of FinTechs' characteristics in the years before the formation of strategic alliances with banks. For continuous variables we tested differences between treated and control units through a two-sample t-Test, while for categorical variables, i.e. Customer and Product, we carried out a Fisher Exact Test. All differences are not statistically significant at the 5% level
